Research Study Description

We are working on a research study about mental health and autistic camouflaging in autistic, non-autistic neurodivergent, and neurotypical adults. Autistic camouflaging can be described as hiding, masking, or otherwise concealing autistic traits in order to survive in a majority non-autistic world. You may have heard the term “autistic masking” before and this is sometimes used to describe all or part of what autistic camouflaging encompasses. This study can be done from your own home by filling out digital questionnaires in addition to a screening and consent call. There is no direct compensation for this study, however, there is an associated raffle to win one of six $50 gift cards. Participation is not mandatory to enter the raffle. To enter the raffle without participating, simply email us at [email protected] requesting to be added to our raffle.
